MoveOn bused in a few activists to support ObamaCare. Overall it was a peaceful rally with children involved as well as you'll see in the photo slide show.

  • The TH down the street was a different story. You make a good point mopenshaw. Signs were getting handed off by someone and ppl were picking & choosing. much of the moveon capitol crwd also arrived and left all at once.

    the size at teh capital was at best 1.5:2(with the moveon dominating) but when they all hop out of a bus, well it's just not legit. the statesman also reported the doggett TH as liberally sponsered-so u know that was a "fair and balanced" event.

  • Gladly, though I'll have to ask through our crew. The printouts were cached by several people. I'll find one and make it available. I'd be interested in what 'right-wing' group was supposedly hiring; some of the 2,500 of us who showed up for free at the last event for free would like to get on a gravy train.

  • Mopenshaw, can you provide a link to any substantiation about the Craigs List claim? I just searched the Dallas list and found only a right-wing notice for a local rally on 8/20.

  • BTW: the guy with the bullhorn? He's the same kid who's been up here in Dallas, working each rally. MoveOn had scores of ads on CraigList in Dallas offering $11-$16 per hour for 'activists' . This guy is normally in charge of distributing the 'handmade' signs, then gathering them back up at the end of any rally up here. He earns his money.

    I guess he had to commute to Austin to not get overrun as badly as usual and get some video that is not embarrassing.

  • Honest assessment; what was the comparative size. Equal sized crowds? If that's the best they can do, in the most liberal city is Texas, they're losing this big time .

    (Up here in Dallas, their normal effort is outdone about 10 to 1, although they did an all-hand set-piece effort where we only outdid them 3-2)
